Biography

Trained as a printmaker, Wu studied new media at the China Academy of Art (CAA). Now, he is an instructor at CAA.[1]

His work, particularly the Opera series (Opera I, II and III) are a satirical comment on politics. Although Wu has lived and worked most of his life in China, he stands behind his political commentary as truthful of politicians and politics worldwide. His work comments on the way that politicians promote themselves in a surreal way. His artwork often uses signs and signals common in Chinese literature and life.[2]

Some of his latest work includes "Who killed the deer"[3] and "The Blind leading the Blind."[4]

Wu now lives and works in Hangzhou.
